I got to the Alexia after a session with the Sasha - which I had made my appointment to hear. The Alexia had just arrived that week and there was an appointment coming in to audition them, so I just had a few minutes. They were driven by a nice Accuphase stack and sounded at once more transparent and coherent than the Sasha (Mark 1), while still voiced like a Wilson - warm side of neutral with a solid bottom end. I was favorably impressed. By the way, the Sasha was driven by McIntosh Mc601's, C500T pre, MCD1100 digital, which was very close to my electronics at the time, so my experience was more audio show than controlled comparative listening!
